Curious, I would expect that behavior if the font doesn't exist on the
receiving system.  Try:
	* removing the spaces?
	* "Times New Romano CE,Symbol"
	  ...and see if it gives you Symbol instead of the default or
	  TNR-CE.

At least that would allow you to troubleshoot if it was the spaces or the
single-wordness that is its problem.

Your spelling is a little strange, but given what you're describing is half
jargon anyway, your English is fine.
